Prologue

Alan Shephard Tracey always wanted to be a Thunderbird, to stand alongside his brothers and two best friends Fermat and Tin - Tin. However that had all changed three years ago when Alan had learnt about the deceit and deception that had occurred on the island. Once he had learned the truth he had demanded that his father allowed him to leave the island to attend a university in Britain.

Now Alan having completed his course was ready to face the island inhabitants. Alan had not set foot on the island in three years. It had taken nearly a year for his brothers and father to convince him to allow them to visit. This would be a big step for him to move on, but was he completely willing to forgive the two who had hurt him the most?

Alan stood starring at the aircraft lined up on the tarmac at Manchester Airport, thinking back on the past 3 years and the completion of his Nursing degree, he smiled to himself remembering when he told his father what he wanted to do.

(Jeff Traceys office 3 years earlier)

Alan stormed into his father's office

" Dad.. did you know?"

Jeff sighed " I was suspicious"

"Well I can't stay here with the two of them all over each other and the glance of pity from my brothers"

"What do you suggest I do Alan? Send them both away?"

"No let me go"

"P..Pardon"

"Let me go, I could go to university in Britain".

" Alan isn't that begin a little drastic, I mean what would you study?"

"I DON'T KNOW I was thinking about Nursing because it would benefit the family business"

" may be Alan you should calm down and think this through and…"

Jeff was abruptly cut off

"CALM DOWN HAVE YOU ANY IDEA HOW IT FEELS WALKING IN ON YOUR BESTFRIEND SHAGGING IN YOUR BED WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND, THEN TO FIND OUT EVERY ONE BLOODY KNEW EXCEPT YOU". Alan paused awaiting a response from his guilt ridden father.

Two days later Alan left the island to commence his Nursing degree.

A hand gently being placed on his shoulder interrupted Alan's thoughts, turning Alan faced the one person he believed he could trust his best friend and girlfriend Joanna.

" Hey allie why the long face?"

" I was just thinking about the past"

As if knowing what Alan was thinking about Jo pulled Alan into a hug and kissed him briefly, looking at Alan in the eyes commented

"It will be alright you know I will be with you every step of the way".

Before being able to reply there flight was called to the gate

"Lets go face the music then" Alan said taking Jo by the hand and walked towards the gate to begin the journey home.
